Urinary Incontinence Support Group

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary excretion of urine from one's body. It is often temporary, and it almost always results from an underlying medical condition. Stress, functional, and urge incontinence are the most common forms. Share with other support group members and learn from their stories and experiences.

bladder cancer

For the last 3 months I have been passing blood and blood clots in my urine. My doctor sent me to a urilogical specislst. There they did a CT scan and later preformrd a cyscopathy??? any way the cyscopathy showed me the cancer in my bladder. I am having surgery on the 22nd to have it removed.

I am so sorry they found cancer, but I am very glad you opted for removal. I have two family members that didn't, and they're cancer came back and has continued to come back. My grandfather had bladder cancer and opted for removal. He never had a problem again. I have had tumors removed, but they've always been benign. If they ever turn into anything more then I'll have a removal too. I'll be praying for you as you go through all of this. Good luck!

Dave,
I am new to this group as of today...but I wanted to give you my support during your chemo and follow up. I too have been passing blood in my urine for a while now....and my incontinence has been getting progressively worse.
The urologist has not said cancer, but has suggested a suprapubic catheter. I have suspected that I may have cancer or serious infection of the bladder which will warrant surgery.
Anyway, I just wanted to say, Thanks for posting and good luck...

Well it has turned out to be invasive blAadder cancer. I will have 3 months of chemotherapy first. Then they are going to remove my bladder and replace it with a neobladder. Then I will have 6 months of chemo again. After all of this only God knows what happens next.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
